Fox River Grove Police sets trick-or-treat hours

The Fox River Grove Police Department recommends trick-or-treating during scheduled hours of 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31.

A few safety tips:

• Children should always be supervised by an adult.

• Costumes should be bright and easily visible to motorists, made of flame-resistant materials, and fit well (avoid flimsy or baggy materials). Make sure shoes fit, too!

• Have an adult examine candy for evidence of tampering. Throw away any candy that is not properly wrapped. Don't let your kids eat candy until they get home and have thoroughly washed their hands.

Contactless trick-or-treat options:

• Place a table in your driveway with a candy bowl or premade bags. Sit in your garage or porch to distantly welcome trick-or-treaters.

• Leave candy on your porch and monitor from inside if you have a glass door or can view from a window.

• If you do not wish to have trick-or-treaters, place a sign at the end of your driveway or on your door: "Due to Covid-19, we are not participating in Trick-or-Treating. Happy Halloween!"
